It may be done "enough" to bring it over there on a trailer. I'll just have to see how much time I have in between now and then......

. The 68 will definitely be there,

Good luck with the build, it looks like you'll be starting off with a great looking Blazer.

*1sik52* · 11-04-2008, 10:30 PM

The transport company just dropped the Blazer off and man am I ready to get this project going. The body on this thing is better than I was expecting. Seems like I have a solid foundation and well worth the money that I spent. But we all know that there could be things hidden until we tear into them!! Heres a few pics that i just took in front of the house.

56fleetside · 11-04-2008, 10:33 PM

NIce looks like it has some brake upgrades already as well as some rims to sell to put towards getting some nice ones LOL i know u gonna make this thing crazy

c10addict · 11-05-2008, 03:43 PM

Watched that on e-bay..Would love to own it... . Glad I get to see what happens to it now...

*1sik52* · 11-06-2008, 09:35 AM

I got to inspect it a little better in the daylight yesterday and overall the body on Blaz-Air is far better than I was hoping for. I do have to replace the rockers and the small patch panel on the drivers side just behind the door and the lower panel behind the rear drivers wheel will need to be hammered and dollied. Other than that it will be off to get rhino lined inside and underneath. We are taking it to a car show this weekend, but monday morning there will be some work being done.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-06-2008, 04:36 PM

Are the rocker boxes in good shape? They are alot different
on Blazers vs. Trucks. Be sure you have the top on and use
a door brace because the Blazer firewalls will move on you

(Not trying to insult your skills, just a FYI they are different)

gringoloco · 11-06-2008, 04:43 PM

*1sik52* · 11-06-2008, 11:42 PM

So I was going to take the Blazer to one car show before I start tearing into everything Monday morning and I'll be damn if the bolt that holds the alternator bracket didnt break off into the head!!! Yea! So looks like I will be tearing into this weekend after all.

*1sik52* · 11-10-2008, 08:53 PM

Ok, so i fixed the bolt that broke off into the head today and decided to inspect the rockers today and what i found is that a PO did a shotty job when they attempted to do the work. The bottom of the rockers was not attatched so i lifted them up a little to discover some hidden treasures. The actual rocker boxes are in good shape, but theres some missing which i will get some more photos to show you once we actually cut the bad crap off. But there was this one piece that i pulled out that had some bolts attached and was wondering 2 things. 1) what is the piece that I am holding and where does it go? 2) Does anyone have some pics of what the post is supposed to look like behind the door jamb? So that I know exactly what its suppose to look like when I rebuild it. Thanks.

Painter D · 11-10-2008, 09:03 PM

Lookin cool already. Keep us posted with plenty of pics.

**jaros44sr** · 11-10-2008, 11:23 PM

Check out my thread on the blazer side- PO has me PO'd, about page 5 it covers the area in question...I'll try to find a pic of the part in question, it bolts to the inner rocker and the step up area

Nice project, post up lots of pics and good luck

Also try to resize your pics to around 800x600, makes it easier to read your thread

I'm subscribed

**jaros44sr** · 11-11-2008, 11:29 AM

Post 121, covers it best, on my thread. You can also see the portion of the bracket that you are holding in your hand. Once you remove the rocker, and lower B post you will be at the step up portion and that should allow you to start the rebuild...

The pic. of the part with the 1" hole in it is not available, but Wes at Classic Heartbeat was working on one. You can call him and see how soon one will be available

I can see what appears to be rust thru above the rocker in your pic, so be prepared to go aleast that high on your cut

Keep the bracket as a template

*1sik52* · 11-12-2008, 07:50 PM

Some new goodies arrived today!

**jaros44sr** · 11-12-2008, 08:26 PM

Glad ya bought the lower rear quater, will make youe access to your rust alot easier...Have fun
